"I (Name) do swear that I do not hold myself bound to yield any allegiance or obedience to the King of Great Britain, his heirs or successors, and that I will be true and faithful to the State of Maryland, and will to the utmost of my power, support and maintain and defend the freedom and independence thereof and the government as now established against all open enemies and secret and traitorous conspiracies and will use my utmost endeavor to disclose and make known to the Governor of some one of the Judges or Justices thereof, all treasons, or traitorous conspiracies, attempts or combinations against the State or government thereof, which may come to my knowledge."
